what's up everyone John retinue from TechnoBuffalo here with a virtual sort of unboxing of my new video camera this is the canon vixia hf g10 if you guys know me you don't know throughout the past three years i have been using this guy my faithful loyal sony HDR sr 11 but unfortunately like all good things it became outdated my audio I'm the first one to admit it it sucked my audio was so bad I had no manual controls I couldn't control anything with this camera the new guide gives me full audio controls there's something called peaking now which I'm learning about I could see it moving as I'm talking so to help me improve the audio and sitting on top of it is this guy the rode videomic so hopefully we'll see some improved audio the video quality should be much improved as well with the new camera I've got a ton of like balance options and aperture settings and stuff I don't know what it means but I'm learning and to help me learn is our camera editors Mike Pearlman who's actually the one that did the unboxing I figured instead of making my poor poor Sony film its own death sort of facing down we would have Mike do it have the expert actually explained the camera and he got this camera in a few weeks ago so if you're interested in it you liked the unboxing we have the full review as well ready and posted on TechnoBuffalo the link is going to be right down below so hopefully you're gonna get improved video you may have noticed the past couple of videos will be or have been in 1080p this one is being filmed with the camera will also be in 1080p use this part of it so you can get your 1080p on you can see the improved quality you might also see this guy make a cameo in some videos it's a wireless floppy it's a wireless floppy mic from audio technica so if you see the helmet pin to my shirt you will know why all to just get better audio and video quality I think we needed and I certainly heard you guys when you were asking for it as well so enjoy mics unboxing of the canon vixia hf g10 you can see it right there boom and if you want to read his full review the link is going to be down below and of course I'll use the camera for a while let you guys know my thoughts I'm John retino hey guys and gals this is Mike Pearlman from TechnoBuffalo and today I am unboxing the canon vixia hf g10 camcorder retailing for 1500 bucks I know it's expensive but it might be worth it I've been waiting for this camcorder for about five years the consumer market is really stepping it up when it comes to its consumer camcorders and this is almost on the borderline of a prosumer camcorder here we have the box it's canons typical red and white candy cane box and there's the beauteous vixia hf g10 and on the box we can discern that this is a full HD 1080p beast but to my knowledge this camcorder can record note native 24 p that is awesome it also has canons new HD c MOS pro sensor this camcorder is optimal for the budget filmmaker if you don't want to spend a you know 2 grand or 3 grand on a super expensive prosumer camcorder this is an option let's see what we have here we get the warranty card for the hft 10 and typical to any Canon camcorder we have big bag filled with CDs and the manual and this is just not your typical camcorder manual I mean this means business this says there are lots of exciting manual controls in this camcorder this camcorder kicks ass that's what this instructional manual says ah ready to unshift the holy grail oh I've been waiting for a camcorder like this for so long you know classic little Canon Vixia tag and our fancy little logos here and one exciting thing about this camcorder is its iris it has an 8 bladed iris the bouquet effect that can be achieved should be pretty substantial I'm excited about that it also has a 3.5 inch wide touchscreen LCD and that 24 P you see there like I said in the beginning native 24 P and that is excellent so here it is here is the big guy and this is just quite a divergence from what you typically see last year's Canon Vixia HF s21 was devoid of this chunky giant smooth that's like Country Crock it is just a nice lens ring here the back for the big battery we also get an extendable viewfinder here and here's the cap for the hot shoe and this is a Canon proprietary hot shoe so we're looking at accessories are specifically canon or third-party accessories that are compatible with canon close mofo ok so right there it's hard to close this try not to take that off this is a different zoom rocker 2 this is one of the flat slide zoom rockers instead of there they're kind of zoom tab that pops up it's more of a flat slide it's smooth it's not bad at all let's see how comfortable this thing is on the inside we have this kind of like faux suede we've seen that before from canons bad very comfortable definitely very comfortable and yeah very ergonomic superg anomic camcorder let's see what do we have here we have a custom button and what that most likely is for in a jog dial what this combination most likely is for is manual controls jogging through the manual controls here's that gigantic screen and this is really nice to have I'm really glad that they kept that viewfinder in there too for the sunny days on shoots and auto focus manual focus that's a nice quick function to have right there powered is I'm I'm hoping that this is going to meet the Panasonic power oh is and mega o is that we've seen so let's jump inside here we have a dual SD card slot and to my knowledge they are they can hold up to 64 gigabyte cards each and one when one fills up it spills over to the next card and this is just the refinement on canons camcorders in the higher-end range it's just fantastic ports here we also have component out and an AV out there's the display and battery info button that tells you how much battery life you have left this is the playback button let's shoot on over to the grip side here we notice there's a playback speaker and we have the remote HDMI and USB terminals covertly hidden underneath the strap so this is a typical Canon design although we are given this nice lens ring and we also haven't unearthed the most exciting part of this camera and that is the Canon HD video glass with a 10x optical zoom and this lens will accommodate 58 millimeter attachments so this is just a very nice lens we'll see how it performs I'm very excited and let's actually reach in here see what else we get we get this nice lens hood let's throw that bad boy on there put it on there we go and that is to block out light though it can cast a shadow so you have to be careful the lighting situation to use this in this is the plug this goes to the plug for the battery charger and lo and behold they give us an HDMI cable that's rare you rarely get an HDMI cable so that that is a definite plus figure a good HDMI cable you looking at 35 to 50 bucks for a good one so factor that into the $1,500 price tag on this here's a remote we get see what else there's the battery not a huge battery let's see what we got for juice looks like okay the BP 808 and it's an 850 milliamp battery 850 milliamp battery you're definitely going to want to get an extra battery or at least a couple of them if you want this thing to last throughout the day especially on shoots ok whole County of things in here this is the charger okay and we also get the this is probably has been in Canon camcorder boxes since I don't know I was in high school we get our AV connections here we also get our USB cable just standard and of course there's no juice so you're just gonna have to wait for the full review of the Canon Vixia HF g10 this should be year's best camcorder I'm predicting but we will see about that hope you tune in for my full review of this camcorder and otherwise stay safe out there this is Mike Perlman signing out for TechnoBuffalo
